Once again, in my weekly look around the Interwebs for the latest in poker, I find myself stumbling upon a hand from the past that’s so good, it must be shared.

I found this thanks to @IndiaPokerChamp: It’s from a 2014 PokerStars event called “Shark Cage,” in which the players are put on the clock and they’re sent to a cage (that doesn’t have real sharks in it, even though that’d be SO COOL AND NOT DANGEROUS AT ALL) if they fold the best hand.

This hand involves Sara Chafak, a former Miss Finland at the Miss Universe competition, and poker pro Ronnie Bardah. Let’s break it down:

Chafak calls the big blind with Ace-2 offsuit, and Bardah goes in with 8 of clubs and 4 of spades.

The flop arrives and there’s a 4 of clubs. Bardah has a pair! He bets 15,000 chips … and Chafak raises!? Hmm. She’s got a shot at a straight if she hits a 3 but that’s a tough decision to even call, let alone raise. Bardah calls.

The next card? A 4!!! Bardah has three-of-a-kind! There’s no way he can lose, right? But he checks, worried about what Chafak had. And this is where Chafak seems to see an opportunity — “Why are you checking?” she asks. And in she goes with 55,000! He raises to 155,000, as he should … and Chafak RE-RAISES TO 255,000!

This is an absolutely bonkers move, an insane risk given that she’s got a 9 percent chance here to win, but let’s remember: She has to keep representing whatever hand she thinks she’s bluffing with. Any sign of weakness and she’s done for.

The river comes out — the 6 of hearts, which helps no one. Chafak goes all-in, and Bardah uses some kind of extended-time option to give himself more than 30 seconds to decide to call or to fold. He then tries to get her to break by showing he has a 4. This is her response:

She’s not budging. And he folds!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable. Bardah goes off to the cage and is left flabbergasted.
